TALEN-Induced Double-Strand Break Repair of CTG Trinucleotide Repeats

Summary: Trinucleotide repeat expansions involving CTG/CAG triplets are responsible for several neurodegenerative disorders, including myotonic dystrophy and Huntington’s disease. Because expansions trigger the disease, contracting repeat length could be a possible approach to gene therapy for these...
